A MASTERPIECE OF MYSTERY

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s most celebrated Sherlock Holmes adventure gets a gloriously funny makeover. When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on his estate, with a look of terror still etched on his face and the paw prints of a gigantic hound beside his body, the great detective Sherlock Holmes is summoned from Baker Street, with Dr. Watson in tow, to unravel the mysteries surrounding of his death and investigate the ancient curse of the Hound of the Baskervilles. Cheeky and fast-paced, The Hound of the Baskervilles offers farcical surprises, brilliant theatrical invention, and a new twist on the greatest detective story of all time. Once you‘ve managed to stop laughing this is a Hound that you will never forget. It‘s absolutely barking!
